Love the unloveable

I am praying for the ability to love the unloveable.
I want to hold on to His peace and joy.
I want to share his light,
because He does.

I am struggling…
that statement is a bit too positive.
I am struggling and the day is done.
I do believe this is worth doing.

I say it…
seems I receive a new opportunity every day now.
I need a do-over…
tomorrow brings new mercy…
more prayer, less me.
still hopeful.

How can I know when I’ve “done this”? Need to write a more concrete goal

He called me mistress in front of my parents and sobbed frequently for NO GODDAMN REASON.

Sometimes the real trick is to love and not to enable. That is often a fine line.

And I don’t just mean the homeless and the Katrina survivors. Not that they aren’t worthy of love- but there are others out there that people would sooner forget aobut.

I mean people suffering from AIDs.
Or someone in prison.
Or the french.

(ok, just kidding that last one. mostly. Ha. ::blushes::)

But seriously- so many people want to distance themselves from the world’s problems. They would prefer to donate money than to donate time or a piece of their heart.

Sounds sappy and trite- but it’s truth.

Not only do i want to love these people, I want to encourage others to do it too.
